How to Create Additional Ftp Accounts in H-sphere

Using an FTP account to help manage and upload the files you need to run your website can seem like a big task. But with newer, advanced web hosting interface programs like H-Sphere, web managers can easily add, edit or delete FTP accounts with the click of a mouse, making it easy to assign users certain access privileges. These accounts used to be complicated to administer, but the H-Sphere interface helps you keep tabs on what users are accessing which accounts and what files they are uploading. As your site grows in size and there are more and more sections to fill in, you will probably need to add extra FTP accounts to deal with the influx of users and file transfers.
